I have noticed that the mount app in the dock doesn't seem to be working as it used to. So far I have only tested 3.3RC1 under VMware, but version 3.1 doesn't show the fault. The fault is that the 'mounted/unmounted' button doesn't change the text or colour once clicked to mount a drive (in my case I have an iso image loaded as CDROM1 on the virtual machine). If the button is clicked more than once a message appears saying that /dev/scd1 is already mounted as /mnt/auto/cdrom1. (i.e. the drive cannot be unmounted using a second click on the button - the system seems to want to mount the drive again)

On checking mtab this is indeed what the line in the file says. However under version 3.1 the corresponding line in mtab reads /dev/cdrom1 (not /dev/scd1 as in version 3.3RC1). Version 3.2 displays the same behaviour as 3.3rc1, I just hadn't bothered to track down the cause.

The virtual machine was identical for all versions tested, all I did was change the name of the iso used to boot the virtual machine in the .vmx configuration file used by VMware.

Has something been changed between versions 3.1 & 3.2 that would cause the drives to be assigned different device names?

Can I make a request for the next release candidate? It would help for lazy people like me if the script for frugal install also included questions on how we would like to configure our default grub or lilo boot options (such as adding toram, mydsl=hda5 etc etc.). That way we would not have to go find menu.lst file and make edits there unless we want to include more extensive list of menus in the boot loader. Everything gets configured right at the time of the frugal install. Not sure if I am the only one wanting to have this feature but I will let the developers decide if this will help others.
